Why can't we expect Egypt-like situation in India??

I think is because of the democracy. It may be ineffective and nonperforming, but it allows for oppositional voice. Our political elite is spread out in different parties and in different states and express diverse views.

This contrasts with a banana republic where the ruling coterie hangs together. Every group member knows that together they are like a bunch of bananas; if you break free, you get skinned. By contrast, India is probably a banana-peel republic: our rulers are all over the place, slipping and sliding, from post to post, promise to promise.

We can not expect Egypt-like situation in India. This is because our mentality. In India whether rich or poor, they are able to get what they want according to their status or ability. Our main worry is to protect ourselves & our families. By and large people are mentally corrupted and not bothering about others what they are doing and thinking what we get. Moreover our attentions will be diverted from one issues to another by the politicians very skillfully and people will also forget the issues one by one and people are used to that. Our families set up and cultures will not allow to resort such agitations against atrocities for fear of life threat by the people who are in the helm of affairs.For example a union leader is corrupted by the management to give up the issues/demands against the management and the union leader is capable of greasing the palms of the workers. Similarly the politicians during elections. If any one turns against the govt or the big sorts, he will be sued false cases or will be victimized by some other ways or will be frightened to the extent of kidnapping their children. So they can not dare, the money/political power will flow to suppress. Moreover our people can do anything as they wish whether good or bad as we have the right to think, do, speak and etc, etc,and are capable of sustaining the odds in their life.

Thanks Ms. Disha for the referral.

Disha,

Most of us appear assuming for certain this can not happen in India, based on present assessed purely from what we read or learn thru news. Travel a few kilometers off any highway, India is different. The increasing levels of crime, unemployment, increasing gap in rich and poor etc. are indicators that many of us tend to overlook. 

Continuation of increase of self servicing individuals in governance, for a few more years without drastic course correction is sure to bring a situation even worse than Egypt to India, as it may not be as peaceful.

Misuse of democracy must stop for it to remain relevant in future. The democracy as being applied on date is demo-no-cracy implying POWER decides what rules, who, how and for whose benefit whch surely is not democracy with ever increasing numbers of deprived.
